non-Octane textures does not show up in Compact Mat. Editor

[oguzbir]

non-Octane textures input cannot be added by using compact material editor other than the standard slate material editor.

Clicking, Show incompatible checkbox in Compact material editor's Material/Map Browser does nothing. and so it does not list all the max standard bitmaps max's noise, max's marble, cannot be seen
Procedure:

1- select an octane material in editor (in compact mat editor)
2- turn diffuse to texture
3- you get a list of textures (octane textures only)
4- if you click on incompatible you cannot see max standard maps.

As a work around you can click map browser alone. click incompatible checkbox there.
You'll now be able to see max standard textures.
Copy that texture to an mat editor slot.
Then copy that texture to the Diffuse slot of an octane material.
that works but it's a pain.

I guess you should correct that.
thanks

Hi,

That doesn't seem like too difficult a fix. This hasn't been requested to my knowledge until now, otherwise it would have been added in a long time ago.

Thanks for the suggestion! Very well spotted.
